Denying facts is standard operating procedure for right wing politicians. But the truth is undeniable: Trump is undoubtedly the leader of America’s Neo-Nazi movement. Since 1981, politicians who sit on the right side of the aisle began a campaign to remove the darkest facts about our country’s darkest past. The most well-known issue has been slavery which began long before the Declaration of Independence in 1776. In 1619, the first slaves stepped onto the land of what would be a new nation. Although Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, and the Union declared victory in the Civil War in 1865, racism continues to be as great a problem today as it was 406 years ago. The illegitimate inauguration of Donald Trump on January 20, 2025, was a travesty for our entire nation. However, for minorities it was a confirmation that genocide is acceptable in America. Trump is the leader of America’s Neo-Nazi movement. He and his army of white supremacists attempted to overthrow...

I'm back because I care. White privilege is real, and only those who benefit from being born into this situation deny its reality. Trump was finally exposed as the leader of America’s Neo-Nazi movement in 2018. Since January 20 he has openly supported whites only while making life more difficult for Blacks, Hispanics, women, the LGBTQ community, anyone who is not a Christian or a Jew, and the entire majority of our nation’s people; the working class. This week he gave preference to 54 white citizens of South Africa who want to leave their country. They claim to be suffering from the end of apartheid. [Apartheid in South Africa lasted from 1948 to 1994. This period represents the time when the white minority government implemented and enforced a system of racial segregation and discrimination against the Black majority. The end of apartheid was marked by the transition to a democratic, multi-racial government in 1994.] Granting these 54 very white people refugee status is another ac...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   This 78-year-old man is not convinced that the nation of our Founding Fathers is worthy of saving. The men and women we elect to serve all of our nation’s people cannot be trusted. At least 40 million of our nation’s citizens no longer believe in wha t it means to be an “American.” I do not understand what has happened to my country over the l ast eight decades .   No one who is not part of my generation can remember what it was like to experience the pride of being an original baby boomer who was the product of parents who sur vived the second world war and hoped to experience a nation of people proud to know that the fascist agenda of Adolf Hitler had been destroyed . Our democratic nation had been an integral part of his defeat.   Patriotism permeated our lives. Movies and television offered never-ending reenactments of the heroic efforts of American soldiers and their courageous and dangerous actions to save the worl d from rule by Ado...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   America would not exist without immigrants. Every man, woman, and child who lived in the co lonies , long before the existence of the United States, was an immigrant, mostly from Western Europe.   The largest period of immigrants arriving in America was b etween 1861 and 1890. Approximately 10.4 million people came to our nation’s shore s, most from Southern and Eastern Europe.   The first unwilling immigrants from Africa were brought to the New World in 1619. This atrocity continues to haunt America today.   FACTS YOU WILL NEVER SEE OR HEAR ON TELEVISION “NEWS”   The number of all-white babies is in decline in the United States, while the number of deaths of all-whites is increasing. This fact is frightening to supporters of white supremacy movements and Neo-Nazi organizations.   Meanwhile, the number of multiracial babies born in America increased from 5.6 percent in 2010 to 15.1 percent in 2020, according to the Census Bure...
